Re: Taking Metformin?

Just trying to understand people's experiences with this drug in "normal" diabetic usage in cancer patient setting. With that, and with any information on possible issues with non-diabetic use, would like to have some sense of risk/benefit. Apparently, it has been used off label for weight loss and body building. Certainly not advocating anything other than maybe a collective nudge to get oncs to look into this. Of course, a non-drug approach like a ketogenic diet might achieve the same benefit.
